To
the thousands of men engaged in the mining and metallurgical
industries, to merchants, bankers, and transportation officials of the
United States and Alaska, to the Bureau of the Mint, the Post Office
Department, the Bureau of Statistics of the Department of Commerce and
Labor, and to other officials, public and private, who have cooperated
with the United States Geological Survey in furnishing information on

made. This cooperation is each year more freely given, and the results
are correspondingly of increased value, not only to those directly
concerned, but also to the public at large.
